    Didn’t the cia dumb years and years of spending on psychic research after a Russian woman was allegedly reported to have clairvoyance? It lasted for 30 years until they final ended testing without any significant results, but I haven’t looked into it outside of video essays

    They ended the research because they couldn’t figure out a way to utilize it for intelligence gathering, but said the results they did have were statistically significant.

    Basically, the clairvoyant could say “I see a man in a red coat walking down the street in front of a coffee shop talking to a woman in a blue dress”. Which didn’t really help the CIA because the information is too vague.

    I used the red coat blue coat thing as an example. But yeah on the link I posted from the cia.gov site, they go into details on it.

    “In the typical remote viewing experiment in the laboratory, a remote viewer is asked
    to visualize a place, location, or object being viewed by a "beacon"
    or sender.
    A judge then
    examines the viewer's report and determines if this report matches the target or, alternatively,
    a set of decoys. In most recent laboratory experiments reviewed for the present evaluation,
    National Geographic photographs provided the target pool. If the viewer's reports match the
    target, as opposed to the decoys, a hit is said to have occurred. Alternatively, accuracy of a
    set of remote viewing reports is assessed by rank-ordering the similarity of each remote
    viewing report to each photograph in the target set (usually five photographs).
    A better-than
    chance score is presumed to represent the occurrence of the paranormal phenomenon of
    remote viewing, since the remote viewers had not seen the photographs they had described (or
    did not know which photographs had been randomly selected for a particular remote viewing
    trial).”

    The whole document is 175 pages long, this is just from the first page. Ignore the formatting, copying and pasting from a PDF is messy

    But what they’re saying there is they have somebody in one place looking at a photo, and they have the remote viewers describe what the other person is seeing. The “red coat blue dress” thing was more an example of how application would work. Like, they can see things, but there’s nothing to suggest they could really gather info any better or more reliably than a camera or something.
